Turning shipping containers into garden offices and buildings was flavour of the month half a dozen years ago and there are some signs that it is on trend again. The Grass Roof Company is among those putting forward some lovely designs, the one above built from two used
containers and clad in larch featuring a wood burning stove. The company supplies them straight to site with green roof and habitat walls. Here's what they say about them:

We love used freight containers, they
have already spent at least 10 years at sea, they are
immensely strong and versatile. A perfect base to fix
green roofs and habitat walls. Take the side away and
you have a shelter for interpretation, cycle store, outdoor classroom or
stage? A truly sustainable building, they can move with
you or sell on complete!
